About as good as it gets

This recording, originally released in 1958 (!), proves once again that some things, once done right, need not be done again. Bernstein's version of the "1812 Overture" is just about as good a recording of the masterwork as you can find. The "Marche Slave" is performed with power and grace, as it should be. Too bad there isn't an "iTunes Plus" version of this album available - but the sound quality is excellent nonetheless. Recommended for anyone interested in what Tchaikovsky really had on his mind.

GOOD- that last reviews crap

I own a LOT of classical albums, but im just now getting into Tchaikovsky. And in reading the last review i nearly didn't buy this album, but im very very happy i did- its an amazing sound quality and great performance combination. And for 5 bucks, it really is a must-by. PLEASE, don't pass this up, I promise you won't regret it.

Tchaikovsky: 1812... (Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy)

I have yet to listen to the whole album, but Romeo and Juliet is worth the price all by itself. Bernstein does a masterful job managing the hugh New York Philharmonic with terrific tempos and dynamics and even better transitions when either or both are changing. Coming from California I have a bias to Zubin Mehta and the Los Angeles Phil., (I bought Isreal and Los Angeles Phils album too), but this New York "Romeo and Juliet" is better, I think. It has more soul.

No figure in 20th century American classical music had as prominent or controversial a career — or did more to sell classical music to the general public as something genuinely exciting, and worth getting into a sweat over — than Leonard Bernstein. For more than 30 years, from his assumption of the post of Music Director of the New York Philharmonic in 1958 until the final concerts that he conducted in obviously failing health near the end of his life in 1990, he was the most prominent...
